Cooking

Does anyone have or know where I can find a "true" recipe for Pad Thai? I have found a few recipes but they aren't like the real Pad Thai I have eaten in Thai restaurants.

Our Heros

Our Heros

They fight for our country, our freedom they defend.
We say they are our heroes, on them we depend.

Our nations warriors, our peace they secure.
Their lives they proudly devoted, with much to endure.

We utter pledges of honor and glory.
In peace or war, what is their story?

Flying flags from every corner, rooftop, and steeple.
Sacrifices they made for their nation and its people.

Our government shuns them, our hearts misdirected.
They are our veterans, homeless and neglected.

My Children, Gizmo and Sam

I have a 14 year old Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot named Gizmo and a collie who is 1 year old TODAY!

I have had Gizmo since she was 6 months old and her vocabulary started growing before I bought her. Her first words were, “Hello” and “I can talk.” Now I ask her, “Yeah! we know you can but do you know how to shut up!”

Sam lays in front of Gizmo’s cage sometimes and rolls on his back with his feet in the air making noises. Then he will stop and stare at Gizmo waiting for her to say something.

The other morning, Sam went up to Gizmo’s cage before I had let her out and stuck his nose to the bottom. Gizmo yelled, “Hey! What you doin’? What’s wrong with you!” Sam just backs up and stares at her a moment and then goes and lays down on the couch.
